ストックホルム症候群・リマ症候群・ナイチンゲール効果

ストックホルム症候群・リマ症候群・ナイチンゲール効果などは、ある種の偏執的な心理学者や精神医学者たちが構築する「非常識・非理性」の心理学的な後知恵による講釈(=質の保証が完全でない解釈)のことである。ウィキの英語のページの以下の一連の説明をみれば、これらの兆候や心理的反応について、不確定な部分が多いことがわかる。つまり、ストックホルム症候群はいまだ不完全な病理的説明しかできていないことである。にもかかわらずこの用語でふむふむと「そんなことってあるんだ〜」と同意する馬鹿が多い。つまり非専門家がしばしばいだく社会現象のパラドクシカルな事象を、専門家が専門用語でそれらの行動や心理特性をなぞらえるようにいくつかの専門用語で補綴すれば、逆のことがら(例:なぜ被害者が加害者に同情するのか)を説明したような気になってしまう、という典型的な(同型の)病理現象をメタレベルで喚起してしまう。私(垂水源之介)などは、それを「ストックホルム症候群を理解せず知った気分になる症候群」と命名したいほどだ。マスコミ関係者には、この症候群にやられる(=罹患する)人が多い。
"Stockholm syndrome is a psychological response sometimes seen in abducted hostages, in which the hostage shows signs of loyalty to the hostage-taker, regardless of the danger or risk in which they have been placed. The syndrome is named after the Norrmalmstorg robbery of Kreditbanken at Norrmalmstorg in Stockholm, in which the bank robbers held bank employees hostage from August 23 to August 28 in 1973. In this case, the victims became emotionally attached to their victimizers, and even defended their captors after they were freed from their six-day ordeal. The term "Stockholm Syndrome" was coined by the criminologist and psychiatrist Nils Bejerot, who assisted the police during the robbery, and referred to the syndrome in a news broadcast./In 2007, a group of scholars studied twelve highly publicized cases of Stockholm syndrome, publishing their results in Acta Psychiatrica Scandinavia. They argued that, as the media accounts lacked "access to primary sources" or an "identification of a pattern of features exhibited in Stockholm syndrome," the characterization of any of these events as Stockholm syndrome could have been due to reporting bias"(source:Wiki en Ingles).
Lima syndrome:”This syndrome was named after an abduction at the Japanese Embassy in Lima, Peru in 1996, when members of a militant movement took hostage hundreds of people attending a party in the official residence of Japan's ambassador. Within a few days, the abductors had set free most of the hostages, including the most valuable ones, due to sympathy. In Korea the phenomenon is referred to as li-ma-jeung-hu-gun.(source)”
The Florence Nightingale effect is a fictional psychological complex where people who are entrusted with the care and wellbeing of vulnerable patients begin to form a romantic attraction and often erotic attraction toward their charges. Medical workers, such as nurses, are typically at risk, and it is a form of psychological countertransference. The effect can also occur in patients who see medical workers as their protector and then develop feelings for them. It was named after nursing pioneer Florence Nightingale.”
